Millions of solar panels are piling up in warehouses across the Continent because of a manufacturing battle in China, where cut-throat competition has driven the world’s biggest panel-makers to expand production far faster than they can be installed.

The supply glut has caused solar panel prices to halve. This sounds like great news for the EU, which recently pledged to triple its solar power capacity to 672 gigawatts by 2030. That’s roughly equivalent to 200 large nuclear power stations.

In reality, though, it has caused a crisis. Under the EU’s “Green Deal Industrial Plan”, 40pc of the panels to be spread across European fields and roofs were meant to be made by European manufacturers.

However, the influx of cheap Chinese alternatives means that instead of tooling up, manufacturers are pulling out of the market or becoming insolvent. Last year 97pc of the solar panels installed across Europe came from China.[...]

The best estimates suggest that about 90 gigawatts worth of solar panels are stashed around Europe. That solar power capacity roughly equates to 25 large nuclear power stations the size of Hinkley Point C.[...]

The sheer scale of the problem was revealed in a recent report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

It warned that although the world was installing at record rates of around 400 gigawatts a year, manufacturing capacity was growing far faster.

By the end of this year solar panel factories, mostly in China, will be capable of churning out 1,100 gigawatts a year – nearly three times more than the world is ready [sic] for. For comparison, that’s about 11 times [!!!!] the UK’s entire generating capacity.

For some solar power installers, it’s a dream come true. Sagar Adani is building solar farms across India’s deserts, with 54 in operation and another 12 being built.

His company, Adani Green Energy, is constructing one solar farm so large that it will cover an area five times the size of Paris and have a capacity of 30 gigawatts – equal to a third of the UK’s entire generating capacity.

“I am installing tens of millions of solar panels across these projects,” says Adani. “Almost all of them will have been imported from China. There is nowhere else that can supply them in such numbers or at such prices.

“China saw the opportunity before others, it looked forward to what the world is going to set up 10 years on. And because they scaled up in the way they did, they were able to reduce costs substantially as well.”

That scaling up meant the capital cost of installing solar power fell from around £1.25m per megawatt of generating capacity in 2015 to around £600,000 today – a decrease of more than 50pc – making it cheaper than almost any other form of generation, including wind.[...]

“Up to 2012 there was a healthy looking European solar panel industry but it was actually very reliant on subsidies and preferential treatment.

“But then European governments and other customers started buying from China because their products were so much cheaper. And China still has cheap labour and cheap energy plus a massive domestic market. It’s hard to see Europe recovering from those disadvantages.”

Trying sososo hard to make this sound like a bad thing [23 Mar 24]

Corrupted by Design CH 1 | Feyd-Rautha x Reader

After generations of pillaging and destroying their ecosystem, you are assigned by the Emperor to work on with the Harkonnens to improve their planet’s agriculture as Imperial Ecologist. However, Giedi Prime is far from welcoming, and you must fight to survive the horrors you endure at the hands of the Harkonnens. When you catch the eye of the Baron’s youngest nephew, and most prized possession, you step into a world complicated by politics and revenge.

A/N: I’ve never read the books, so this is a combination of the Villeneuve films, the Dune Wiki, and a heavy dose of just making shit up lol. I try my best to make Reader as nondescript as possible, but there are mentions of having periods and body hair in later chapters. As a warning up front, this will not have a Happily Ever After ending, but maybe more like Happy For Now?

Please mind the tags; this is very dark, but that comes with the territory.

Chapter One: Like Meat (Spoiled)

Previous Chapter ⦾ Next Chapter

When you first arrived at Giedi Prime, nothing could have adequately prepared you for the shock the harsh environment brought. 

Approaching the planet, dark, heavy clouds of pollution choked its atmosphere, seen even from your descent into the atmosphere. Any hope you’d had on your mission here began to wither as you saw the goliath manufacturing plants and landfills that scarred the horizon on all sides. Even the advanced Sardakaur technology on this ship couldn’t soften the harsh winds. Could this be the reason why they accepted you— a last-ditch effort to salvage whatever was left of this godforsaken planet…?

When you landed, you rose unsteadily to your feet and grabbed your luggage. Two large bags and one satchel tied at your waist. The rest unloaded off the ship, full of your tools and plants. Your entire life packed away, always ready for the next move. An escort accompanied you off ship, the rest staying inside. Not that you would blame them; if it was not required of you, you would not leave, either.

After all, I reflected, I was like my neighbours; and then I smiled, comparing myself with other men, comparing my active good-will with the lazy cruelty of their neglect. And at the very moment of that vainglorious thought, a qualm came over me, a horrid nausea and the most deadly shuddering... I began to be aware of a change in the temper of my thoughts, a greater boldness, a contempt of danger, a solution of the bonds of obligation. I looked down; my clothes hung formlessly on my shrunken limbs; the hand that lay on my knee was corded and hairy. I was once more Edward Hyde. 

This is so fucking funny.

This is everything, and I absolutely love it.

Henry Jekyll, after deciding how he was finally going to "be free" from Hyde after his crimes were too severe to either bribe, or sweep under the eyes the law, deadass went into a vain rant about how better he was than his fellow men, and neighbors thanks to his "active good-will"... Only for him to just immediatly end up transforming into Edward Hyde on the spot.

Absolutely no one is doing it like him.

#This is not the complete scene but it's prime comedy #Love how even Hyde couldn't stand his ass and went “shUT THE FUCK UP!” #Henry Jekyll may be a prized scientist but my god is he stupid #jekyll and hyde weekly #the strange case of dr jekyll and mr hyde #henry jekyll #edward hyde

yeah so tim snaps one day and decides he hates pretending to be a capitalist all day and clones himself to force the clone to do all the busy work (as you do) and also partly because he never got to make a successful clone that one time with kon and so he does it and it works but turns out his clone also doesnt want to do that shit so he makes another clone and guess what fucking happens. guess. so now theres three tims running around and cass tam and bruce are starting to get suspicious and tim gets the sinking feeling like the pursuit of scientific knowlege has led him astray yet again

so he asks kon for help and instead of offering literally anything fucking useful he just gets really quiet and in his feels about whether tim considers clones people or not which is certainly a fascinating philosophical question for literally any other time cuz now dick and steph are getting sus and duke’s been shooting him weird looks and yeah dude i know you werent conceived by normal methods but im 100% sure clark and lex only call you a clone because it would be really awkward to have to address the UST between them this far into their rivalry… yeah dude a clone thats half of two people is just a kid. sorry you had to find out this way

not to mention tim has a pesky moral crisis because turns out when you clone yourself you pass on your genetic disposition for depression but hes only got enough meds for one (and theyre going to the original, i dont care if you didnt ask to be made, tim 2 i dont give a SHIT) so all him clones end up doing is lying around begging for death (which is a lot more unnerving in the 3rd person) and he kinda feels bad but hes not sure whether or not hes allowed to kill the clones

anyway dick and cass finally catch him in the act and after many, many lectures (dick) and jokes (both of them) and sparring sessions (no, not even three tims can take down cass, can we please focus on the problem at fucking hand here??) they help him get rid of the clones (finally) but the whole thing is STILL not over because when theyre reverting the clones back to their original biomatter tim went (like an idiot) ”it hurts to see others living out your dreams” and now dick is Concerned and when jason comes back to gotham from whereverthefuck cass tells him all about it and he laughs for a day straight and permanently changes tims name in his phone to dr. frankenstein

and then it turns out damian knew about the whole goddamned thing from the jump and blabs to bruce about it because divine intervention nor the promise of blackmail will stop damian from being a little shit

#i’m pushing mad scientist tim with the strength and solitude of atlas holding up the sky #ok this is a lot longer than i thought it would be #tim drake #mad scientist tim drake #my beloved #batfam #dcu #dc universe #batfamily #batman #shut up somaya #i’m ignoring whatever is going on in the comics idc about gay “rights” where are my gay wrongs

If you must know one thing about me its that I will not stand for any disrespect against Gonta's intelligence

#shut up me #not related to prev post or literally anything I saw today #If you call him stupid I will kill you with my mind lasers #It just makes me sad.. and its not even true #bro he's a scientist... literally discovered a new species of parasitic worm working in a lab and saved hundreds of lives that way #trial 4 was a good part about how underestimating him Lead to the complications in that case #bro... bro please....... #im tired so sorry if this is incoherent

the bandaged scoundrel is the type of guy who'd learn what literary roles are and then immediately declare themself the protagonist of life. the doomed scientist is the type of guy who'd promptly come up from behind to hit them with a brick. only the most important fallen london yin oc lore on this tumblr blog

#im aware i havent talked about the scientist (aka FL au caeru) very much #i need to go send him off to adventure through nemesis and also the horrors (seeking) on the side #yin-thoughts #fallen london #i like to imagine the scoundrel just sorta picked the scientist up like a feral cat and gave him the honor(?) of being their roommate #definitely not to fill the weird void in their chest whenever they think about how lonely their apartment is now. definitely not #shut up #the scientist hates them but rooming in the bazaar is also very convenient and he gets to steal their lab supplies so they can live #for now #caeru as an oc is just really fun to put in Situations and interpret him from there

Like. 4 or so years ago I made a post about Cecil The Scientist-Palmer loving Gravity Falls and making himself every single sweater that Mabel has.

That, but for Rita Penumbra. I'm not saying she would make them (she might but idk... I just can't see her knitting or crocheting personally), but I'm saying that she would spend an inordinate amount of money to buy replicas after finding this cute little ancient stream about earth, mistah steel, where there's these adoooorable little kids who run around and solve mysteries, just like we used to mistah steel! And one of them is wayyyy too serious, he actually reminds me a lot of you, in fact I'm not actually sure you ain't just a bigger, grumpier dippah pines, but the other twin, (her name is mabel,) I can tell she's gonna grow up to be very smart and VERY cool and VERY pretty, and she reminds me of me when I was just a little Rita! And she has aaaall of these sweaters, mistah steel, she makes em herself, and they're so cute! So anyways, that's why I had to order all of those custom made sweaters.

Mistah Steel, it's rude to ask a lady how much she spent on fifteen new custom made sweaters, especially if they're all adorable.

destined to intertwine

“Well, this is rather inconvenient,” the scientist sighs, tugging at the red string on their finger that attaches the two of them together. The villain can’t help but echo the sentiment. It’s not like the string will prevent them from leading separate lives, but they’ve heard horror stories of soulmates that tried to resist the bond. Those stories always featured immense pain and unsavory emotions with distance. 

“It’s not my fault,” the villain huffs, crossing their arms over their chest. The scarlet string dangles tantalizingly from their finger. They resist the very strong urge to rip it. Unfortunately, they doubt that the string is easily breakable. Besides, the scientist is currently glaring at them- as if they know what they’re thinking. 

“It’s not mine either,” the scientist clarifies, causing the villain to roll their eyes. There’s an incredulous look on their face at that. “What? How was I supposed to know that the string binds us together like this?” 

“You’re a scientist,” the villain hisses, their irritation growing. This nerd is entirely useless, aren't they? The villain sighs. It's just their luck that their soulmate is a dimwitted scientist. “It’s, like, your job to know these things.”

“I don't study soulmates,” the scientist seethes, still not quite meeting their gaze. “I have much more important things to worry about.” The villain rolls their eyes again. It’s just about the only gesture that can convey their annoyance, irritation, and impatience all in one movement. 

“Well, maybe you should study soulmates,” they snap. “Then we could figure out how to get out of this predicament.” The villain gestures emphatically, glaring at the string furiously. The scientist remains infuriatingly silent. The villain wonders if they know just how much their silence annoys them. 

“I don’t see you coming up with any bright ideas,” the scientist eventually argues. Somehow, that phrase incites a reaction within the villain. They realize something, only for the scientist to shoot them down. “Don’t say scissors.”

“Aw,” the villain pouts dramatically, a smirk growing on their face without refrain. They experimentally tug on the string and, subsequently, the bond. For a moment, nothing happens. Soon enough, however, a pained hiss slips from the scientist’s lips. They grimace. 

“Don’t do that, idiot,” the scientist admonishes them. The villain simply raises their eyebrows, refusing to lose to the pathetic urge to feel guilty about their actions. “Gods, why did I have to be stuck with you?”

“You think I’m happy about this?” The villain can’t quite keep their emotionless facade. Hurt stings in their chest at the scientist’s remarks, loathe they are to admit it. They lick their lips and shake their head in disbelief. “I’m burdened by this just as much has you are. You’re a scientist, but that doesn’t automatically make you the loser in this situation!”

“You’re right.” The villain’s thoughts are running a mile a minute. They can’t stop the words from slipping from their lips. 

“I mean, seriously, that doesn’t make you- wait. What?” The villain freezes, processing what the other just said. Perhaps they misheard. Did the scientist just... apologize to them? No, surely not. They're just hearing things. 

“I’m sorry,” the scientist says, their head bent down. The villain can’t see the expression on their face, but the harsh pull to their shoulders suggests that they're troubled. “I know you don’t want to be stuck with me. For what it’s worth, though... you’re not that bad.”

“You’re not so bad yourself,” the villain finds themselves saying. Their heart begins to race, all of a sudden. It definitely doesn’t have anything to do with the scientist finally meeting their gaze. Definitely not. 

“Don’t worry, we’ll figure this out,” the scientist says reassuringly, placing a hand on top of theirs. The villain wants to vindictively shove their hand away, but something in them feels lighter upon the other’s touch. So, instead, they settle for remaining silent in the scientist’s- no, their soulmate’s- company.
